Puget Sound area is kind of an exception. I would say most European, Asian, Midwest, East coast big cities I’ve been to have almost no nature within an hours drive. Maybe a few manicured parks
- jen20 5y agoPerhaps that’s true in some places of the places you list, but I can barely think of a European city that does _not_ have nature within an hour drive. Or, for that matter and east coast city. Even New York City has plenty of nature within an hour (the Ramapo mountains in one direction, plenty in most others too).

London: Epping Forest, accessible on the Underground; north Surrey hills, just under an hours drive. Montpelier (France): Verdon Gorge, about an hours drive, and lots of nice stuff before you get there. Chicago: yeah, ok. You got me.
